In celebraton of Veteren's Day, today, on 11/11 @ 11:11 AM, take a moment of silence, for Armistice Day (The anniversary of the Armistice which was signed in the Forest of Compiegne by the Allies and the Germans in 1918, ending World War I, after four years of conflict).

I came accross this poem that I thought expressed my gratitude for the "Unknown Soldier".

Because of You, Unknown Soldier
By Courtney Tanabe

Because of you, I am here
Because of you, I am able to live freely

Yet I do not know you
And I have not done anything for you

But there you stand, ready to fight
And there you are prepared to die

For me

You've fought before
And you'll fight again
For someone you don't know
